1 Jital - Shams al-Din Iltutmish

Iltutmish consolidated the Delhi Sultanate into a genuinely independent power after breaking from the Ghurid succession following the death of Qutb ud-Din Aibak in 1210. These billon jitals were the workhorses of his monetary system, struck at Delhi and circulated across the Indo-Gangetic plain during a period when he was simultaneously fending off Mongol pressure from the northwest and absorbing the remnants of rival Rajput and Muslim kingdoms to the east. The billon content varies noticeably across surviving examples — silver percentages fluctuate enough to suggest multiple die pairs and possibly multiple mints operating without strict central supervision.
